Answer:
z = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12z = 200 ( divide both sides by 12 )
z =
= 
You are finding 3 1/6 - 1 5/6.
To solve, you should first change it so that the numerator of the first fraction is greater than the numerator of the second. Note that both have the same denominator (6). Subtract as usual:
3 1/6 = 2 7/6
2 7/6 - 1 5/6 = 1 2/6
1 2/6 is your answer.

In terms of algebra, writing "am" is the same as writing "a*m" or "a times m"
To undo the multiplication, we use division. We will divide both sides by m to get 'a' all by itself on the left side
So...
am = n+p
a*m = n+p
(a*m)/m = (n+p)/m .... divide both sides by m
a = (n+p)/m ... notice how the 'm's cancel out when we divide on the left side
Final Answer: a = (n+p)/mYou must use parenthesis to indicate that all of "n+p" is over m or you can write it like this
